Really nice mate, the 11 suspension is a nice mod and you got a great deal from your brother. Really looking forward to seeing more with the F! Oh and 145k is just about run in for an ISF 😉
Welcome to the family. The ISF is rock solid, great looking and sounding car. I wasn't too happy with having an automatic gearbox in the beginning, but as soon as I learned its quirks its pretty good. Enjoy your legendary ISF :)
For my ISF TPMS issues I made a PVC tube with a valve stem in it. I pressurize it to 35psi and keep it in my trunk next to the spare. Not for everyone but I don't have to worry about sensors anymore.
@@Breezyraps214 true but tbh when it comes to cars like isf where there’s not many around I like to do everything the right way you know. Even if I have to pay bucks to get something right it’s 100% worth it. Plus the snap on tool compared to others is sooooo much better and more user friendly
@@_u2ez_318 facts I get that some people just live above their means and have to get creative with it I guess and idk man the snap on has a learning curve we use the autels more I need to familiarize myself better with them I saw a snap on at the own shop for 699 might have to cop it
Awesome deal. And the interior isn’t worn. That can all be reconditioned to look incredible. As a detailer, I see the potential for that interior to look fantastic. Once it’s all cleaned up and vinyl wrapped, the cars going to be extremely badass, though I do think the silver looks good.
Thanks! I feel like the interior could be great once cleaned up, the seat is the only physically worn item. But some leather restorer can keep it looking fresh so I don’t have to replace it right away. Thanks! I hope so! The goal is to have everything working 100% and looking that way too
Congrats Marty! I'm from New Zealand and I recently just sold my is350 as I purchased my first 2008 ISF in Black for $18200NZD which equates to $11200 USD with 193,000kms(120,000miles)!

I was not allowed to replace it for the past 5 years and finally got the ok this year so I got myself a nice used Lexus GSF through my work for only $46k low mileage. Def a night and day difference between the two. Hope to see what you have planned in the future for your ISF! -Skugga
Why are you talking about your story when it’s about his video? You sound like that one girl “yeah it’s cool how you got a vacation BUT I WENT TO PERU AND WILL BUY DUBAI THIS WEEKEND” like bro stop being a narcissist
Now setup a search alert on ebay for RCF or GSF diff and swap if you can find it under 1k. Should bolt up if you swap out the rear diff cover. Looks like it has the right mods for all the other stuff.
Nice car, I bought a 08 in February of this year and loving it. Fun fact, there are only 32 registered here in Sweden. There's one with 220,000km and one with 160,000km. Mine and a few others are under 90,000km. Very rare car and nobody knows what it is. Love it!
Super glad I found your channel! Congrats on the purchase! I'm over in Northwest PA and about to get a '11 IS350 AWD. Been watching your videos to get an idea of maintenance to get done
Yeah bro excited u did get the "F" saw it on IG. But know not the colour, but guess what, colour can be changed and u got a great deal....so its a win win!! 😉
This is my dream car.. they were way over priced and just seemed out of my league back then but now I've been seeing some crazy reviews and upgrades to them. I want a 2010 black or charcoal ISF
Just picked up a 2008 ISF. Silver like yours. Mine has a lot of goodies already. RR racing intake and tune, circuit werks exhaust and headers. Updated headlights and fog lights. Interior was in pretty good shape. Just bought some leather reconditioning dyed balm and the seats look brand new now. It definitely is a beast. Sound phenomenal and is fast a shit. Probably faster than my V8 2010 SS/RS Camaro which has similar mods. I still want to put the carbon fiber lip kit on it and carbon fiber fender vent inserts.
that is a good deal bro, my 07 IS350 got in flood total loss last year at 142k miles the insurance pay out $10500, the engine was drive like new at that miles, with V8 engine you will get alot miles out of that car
Beautiful car! You got me into Lexus, with 09 is250 and 14 350, love them both. Can you do a video on interior detailing since you're gonna detail it regardless?
Sold my rebuilt title 08 isf w/187k, gutted headers primary and secondarys, rr racing tune, new pads, rotors, rims and tires all around, carbon fiber duckbill, AND fresh valley plate repair for 19.2k a couple months ago. didn't want to sell it but need the money and the market was kinda at it's peak and no other isfs were for sale under 30k in my area. So yes you got a killer deal
@@JacobyAldrich Haha yeah the AC blend door was a pain in the ass, but what was really stopping the AC from working was the bad fuse. Now it only blows cold while moving and not stopped, but its ok cus fall is coming 😂
I got a 2011 Blue ISF last week for $35.5k aud ($24.6k usd) with PPE headers and an XForce varex exhaust running on 180,000km (111,000 miles) with full lexus service history, not bad !! But 3 days of just owning it someone tboned me so now its at repairs
Congrats Marty! You got the family hookup $17,000 is a steal for the ISF even the mileage is low for the 2UR-GSE with examples in the 300,000 range it's not even a worry. First mod you should do is headers no question it's the biggest powermaker considering you already have the Borla exhaust besides a supercharger do that motor a favor and let it breathe!
muffler, secondary cat delete, and eliminating the rear bogle/choke point (where exhaust flattens) where the catback meets mid pipe almost make the same amount of power for $200 lol.
Everything you mentioned refers to the stock exhaust the car has a Borla on it it doesn't have secondary cats (unless his brother installed a set of secondary cats on the Borla but I doubt it) or the flattened out part of the OEM exhaust system. The biggest choke point is the OEM manifold design it's log style and is very restrictive hence the most amount of rear wheel horsepower comes from putting a set of properly designed headers on this motor.
i saw and commented on your post on community F today, Congrats! i also have an 08, and its funny all the similar problems i had/have with mine. jealous your screen still responds to touch. im at 120k and mine doesnt lol, i also have bumper sag as well. oh well. great car anyways and can all be fixed lol, im in jersey hope to see you around sometime!
Nice! I have a 2012 on the way from Japan. Just to let you know, the wheels are put on wrong. You need to swap right and left. They are functional if you put them on the right way ;)
Good for you Marty, I'm happy to see this. I'm still hanging on to my 2007 2IS but after your video I searched for ISF's nationwide and there are still some out there. A few with a clean title with some of the others overpriced as usual. I'll be watching closely to see what you'll do with this one. I've been meaning to ask you where did you get your US flag window sticker on your original IS350. I can't seem to find any to fit the 2IS.
Thanks! They are out there but hard to find and overpriced which is why I’m lucky to have this one, even if it needs some work. Public auction is always a good bet too! I actually got that decal on eBay in full size, and just laid it on the window and cut it to fit! I don’t know of any that are made to fit, but that would be cool
Congratulations my friend!! Baby steps 🤣😂 Nurture this beauty! She sounds amazing! Yes you got a fantastic deal!! Do the basic first! It's good you know some of the history.
clean air intake, throttle body and maf. then also run fuel injector cleaner thru it...remove sticker on console. when u first oil change add lucas oil heavy duty oil stabilizer
Air intake is clean and KN filter is new :) Throttle body and MAF can’t hurt! Yeah the sticker will be coming off, I need a new clock area since it’s cracked. I did an oil change the other day and used some oil stabilizer 🔥 works well
I had a 2010 IS250 AWD that was completely loaded for a while. Was a great car, only complaint was that is was a bit too small for me being around 6’3”.. Also needed a lot more power, that 2.5 V6 was sad 😂 But it was wrapped Nardo gray and I got a lot of compliments on it
@@nickcaesar7650 nah not always! I had a 2014 Dodge Charger R/T for over 4 years. The 370hp that 5.7 V8 made was enough for me! Sounded good and got me up to speed just fine! I do miss that car now that I have a 4Runner with the 4.slow V6. But I know this thing can go anywhere and won't ever leave me stranded!
these cars aged so well. looks like something that would come out today. i'd 100% swap the headunit for a carplay one but other than that this car is fresh
Ha, I just bought a cheap IS-F yesterday. 2008 146K on it, and love it already. Previously had a C63 P31 and an M3. Wanted a reliable but fun DD. Good video
That is awesome 👏 Welcome to the F family! Funny I am just putting mine on the market 🤣😂 Shameless plug, have a look at my playlist on mods if you want. I went all the way with even removing the inlet and porting and polishing it and the throttle body. Mine is a MY10 with the LSD. You can get these in the US from about $1k used or put in a GS460 3.7 and a LSD centre. Headers make a huge increase particularly with a good exhaust and tune. Unfortunately I never got better than a 12.1 over the 1/4 due to so many rain cancellations and no prep on the track. I would not go the supercharged rout as others I have chatted to say the gearbox fails and slips with the torque after a while. Also a guy in the US has awesome tunes and locks the converter to 7,200 so May be worth thinking about. Really looking forward to your next chapter. By the way $17k is soooooo cheap 🤣😂🤣 To give you an idea the 2014s here in Australia command about $75 to $80k.
Mike do you mind me asking why you are selling the ISF all ready? What would you replace it with? You could get into the 11's with some weight reduction.
Definitely. I don’t know that luxury buyers are looking for a manual in particular. I had a manual 2013 Camaro SS and it was a blast. This care is a little more refined and still fun with the responsive 8 speed auto
Cars are bulletproof. Common problems are coolant leaks from the water pump and engine block heat exchanger. And the gauge needle LEDs going out, which you can't really fix.
Hey there - I just got a 2009 Blue with 67k miles. Does the 2011+ suspension bolt right on? I'm interested in minimal exhaust mods + tune to wake it up more too. Thanks for sharing your experiences, I found this years later :)
AFS light is most likely on due to the bracket that holds the sensor near the rear drivers side wheel. You can duck tape it to the correct position or buy a new bracket for the sensor. Should resolve you’re issue, rarely the headlights are the culprit.
@@LensOfMartin ohh..if there aftermarket headlights scratch what I said..pulling the fuse would actually get rid of the AFS light. I thought you were running OEM head lights
Such a great deal! Knowing where the cars been and who’s had it! Congratulations and can’t wait for the content to come. The miles are not that bad, in comparison the one that Jared from wrench everyday has running great last I saw was around 215k on his channel. (Been a while seen i seen his channel) My goal to get one of these or a GS460.
That's one hell of a deal. There's one near me with the same mileage for 23k and I want to hop on it so bad. In the current state of things I should hold off. 😢
Hey Marty, you gotta check out the is350 convertible models even just for a video, these convertibles need love!. I have one in red and alabaster and MY GOD it’s perfect. The only similarity is the hood, the entire stance of the car is lifted, the doors 4 inches longer. Much cooler look imo.

Such a great deal! Knowing where the cars been and who’s had it! Congratulations and can’t wait for the content to come. The miles are not that bad, in comparison the one that Jared from wrench everyday has running great last I saw was around 215k on his channel. (Been a while seen i seen his channel) My goal to get one of these or a GS460.
Hey I got my isf for 17.5k last week in PA as well! Congratulations!!
Great , great video on the positive side of things . Who makes the radio In 2008 Lexus es350s ?
What a great deal, I always regret selling mine. Would love to get one again in the future.
hi, how do you fix bumper fitment? on my lexus the front bumper is slightly tilted to one side?
I took it off and made sure all clips and bolts were on correctly
17k is a steal! I would be over the moon man! Congrats!
My is350 has the exact lights on the dash you do. Which fuse do i need to pull for the afs light to go away?
It should be labeled HP LVL or AFS!
@@LensOfMartin thank you so much! Beautiful isf btw, I need one someday
That's one hell of a deal. There's one near me with the same mileage for 23k and I want to hop on it so bad. In the current state of things I should hold off. 😢
I love it. Only thing I would do it get rid of spoiler on back window. Other than that it’s clean.
Love Lexus,have GS 350 sport and IS 300 ,costumer for life ✌️
Dashboard and door panels are nice. My old Lexus IS panel’s started melting
They aren't as nice as the replacements I got on my old 350, but they held up. They are scratching and chipping a bit.
Nice the mileage is the least of your worries if it's been even decently maintained lexus's will go forever 💪💪
wonder if 20k is the nomal avg price?
Hey Marty do you do know why a paddle shifter won’t shift down with the shifter.. only with a knob. I have an 07 is250
Currently found one near me with 120k miles for 20k. Looking to pair with my 17 4Runner TRD Pro. Hoping it works out this weekend
That’s a sweet deal !! Living the 2IS dream brother 💯
Hey dude,
What year would you recommend for an IS year?
I want a 350 but I I’m not sure what year is best
Recommend 2012+ for the is350.
Good deal 👌. Mileage is good for the year. Glad it worked out for you 👊
I see a lot of 20k-30k isfs in my area with around 100k miles
I have a 2008 IS F with 218,000 miles. No major issues...you'll be happy.
Making me miss my 08 350
the 145 miles is fine my 2011 isf has 155 and it still runs good
keep it up Marty, Congrats, I really want an ISF as well instead of my IS 300 2009
Moving on up!
Congrats man! Looks fresh imo!
Just wanted you to know, it is Mark Levinson. His name is printed right there on your radio,
I saw that after making the video lol
@@LensOfMartin lol it must sound good!
Marty, is there any drone from the Borla catback?
congrads brother its one of my favorite cars and models ever a pure modern classic enjoy!!!!!
Congrats I’m working hard on flying mine out from Calgary congrats brother
Nice! Did you win that auction for the 2012?
Excited to see what the future holds
Seems like he does pretty well as a barber!
Hey Marty, you gotta check out the is350 convertible models even just for a video, these convertibles need love!. I have one in red and alabaster and MY GOD it’s perfect. The only similarity is the hood, the entire stance of the car is lifted, the doors 4 inches longer. Much cooler look imo.
I have a obsidian black one with white and black interior fully loaded I love it
Yes, congrats man!
